Strange things to complain about. Why would extra bracelet links be free?

The bank check thing seems a little odd, though.

Was this a new watch, or used? Because I don’t believe they have to supply enough links to wear with a new one at no charge. The cc thing I’ve heard before.

Enjoy the watch regardless.

At $500 must be 2T or full PM, no?

Two jubilee rose and SS links. Datejust 41 I was willing to pay for the second one but they wouldn't even furnish one.

I’m sure there’s a good reason but as long as you’re all in agreement that’s what matters.

Enjoy the watches.

Did you notice the feedback in your previous thread? Pretty much no one thought the AD was wrong not to give you $500-worth of free links.

Exactly and with the strict Covid protocols we have here in Illinois the Banks don't even want to let you in without an appointment. I could also get them in trouble with Visa if I reported them for not accepting the card.

There have been threads where a Rolex has been resized to fit a smaller wrist and the removed links have not been included in the box.

If I am buying a Au$20000 Rolex I would expect it to fit my wrist at that price.

I’ve only got a 6.5” wrist so extra links are never an issue for me except for 1/2 links and 1.5 links for sizing. In the OP’s case I would think there would be some flexibility with steel links when someone’s wrist size is clearly bigger than what’s provided. I could see a little less flexibility for PM links.

Did the AD take away the link or something? I would not expect them to just give you a link if it was not originally included with the watch. I assume they probably don't just get links for free from Rolex.

The bank check policy is a bit strange. I could understand a surcharge on a credit card, but not taking a credit card at all seems unusual. That said, it is their store, and you were not required to buy from them.

I would have never expected an AD to give me extra links for free. Certainly not in this environment. As for the check, while not the norm, I’ve been asked by an AD to pay via bank check/wire. Neither strikes me as odd. Frankly, the only thing strange is holding back the sleeve, which isn’t that big of a deal
